General Info about Miscarriage

RSS Feeds   Text 
Miscarriage or spontaneous abortion is the loss of pregnancy, where the fetus cannot survive or is born before the 20th week of pregnancy. It occurs in about 15-20 per cent of all recognized pregnancies. Almost 80 per cent of the miscarriages occur in
the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. The chance of a successful pregnancy after a spontaneous miscarriage is very good.
